I have one and it works VERY well. You can log 5 channels including wide
band O2 which the HPT can't do yet. Can set alarms etc. Great for checking
to see if you have knock if u use lesser quality fuel or do a mod like the wg
mod and u wish to see if it caused any knock retard.
Nice product and they keep improving the software which u can download and there is a forum too.

I bought one last year for use in my Goat, then I found out in also worked in my 2006 HHR and now in the SS. It works with any vehicle that is using CAN at the ODB port. Check their web site to see what vehicles are supported.

It works very well just like turbofreak said.

I just downloaded the latest firmware (2.4) for the Daskhawk and upgraded. They added several new features one being a driving monitor that changes the LCD back light color based on gas consumption.

I used it this morning driving in to work and following the lights, red, yellow and green and I picked up another 1.5 MPG average. Along with the color changes, the display shows instant and average MPG.

I don't have a mount for it in either of our HHR's, I just threw it in and let it hang over the steering column on the SS and it sits on top of my Delphi XM receiver in the 2LT.

The main purpose of the DashHawk is for my GTO.

This is probably the biggest short coming of the unit, hard to mount and it does not come with any mounting options.
